A Universal Orlando Resort guest caught the last of the Poseidon’s Fury building being torn down on Sunday night, August 9.
Poseidon’s Fury Demolition
User @OrlandoWxm2023 shared two videos on X of a high reach demolition vehicle tearing the building apart, writing, “We were leaving Islands tonight at closing and heard the bulldozer running so waited for a bit and watched some of the remaining building start to come down. It will probably be all the way down by morning”.
Aerial photographer Bioreconstruct took some photos of the demolition process after the video was posted.
At the left side of the above image is the decorative Poseidon statue holding a scroll sign for Treasures of Poseidon, one of the gift shops at Lost Continent.
One of the chambers of the show building itself still has part of its upper white structure hanging over the newly exposed interior.
Pipes, insulation, rebar, wires, beams, and more can be seen in the tangled mess of materials.
The teal-green top of a themed column in the main show chamber can be seen lower left of this photo amidst the wreckage and construction vehicles.
The demolition of Poseidon’s Fury can also be seen behind Seuss Landing. The photo on the left is from August 10, while the photo on the right is from July 30. Much of the show building has been demolished since the end of July.
Demolition of Poseidon’s Fury began in late July and we could see some of its interior chambers. The building’s temple facade was demolished a week ago.
The walkthrough attraction permanently closed in May 2023. It is finally being demolished as Universal prepares for something new to take over The Lost Continent space.
The theater for The Eighth Voyage of Sindbad was also destroyed, eight years after the show closed.
What do you hope replaces The Lost Continent? Let us know on social media.
